deancoles 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 For my first sub, I'm picking the player who led Bulgaria to 4th place in the 94 World Cup, had an appalling temper which he'll need to improve if my manager is ever going to bring him on.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Well, if I'm picking a player specifically to be a substitute then there really is only one pick. The super-sub himself. 28 goals as a sub for United in his career, including THAT ONE in the Nou Camp. The Baby Faced Assassin... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Edited July 16, 2008 by King Cucaracha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cr7 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 That's the other player I was considering, good pick, better person. I'm chomping at the bit for my next pick, let's keep this running gentleman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sivy 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 my first pick is: Rudi Voller A great reserve striker also if needed can link up with klinsmann, as they have played together with germany. my second pick is Nemanja Vidić i think this guy is awesome and a great non-nonsense defender. he can link up with rio if needed. they are the best centre halves partnership.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Well, a manager's going to have to wait because I can't hold off on taking this person any longer. One of the most gifted players to ever wear an England shirt and certainly one of the most entertaining. Paul Gasgoine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I had a funny feeling that would be the second stadium to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I think the next stadium to go might just be obvious too, in fact, I could probably put together the next 10 picks and i'd be 90% right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cr7 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I had no intention of picking a manager/stadium until the end, but the early run ruined that plan. The stadium is of no matter to me, but I know who I want in charge. Short post again, sorry but iPod typing takes forever. Sir Matt Busby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 It was between Shankly and Busby for me. I wasn't going to go with the manager until the end but someone jumped the gun, and, well, monkey see, monkey do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I know we're skipping Jorge, and there's really no doubt about what stadium I'm going to pick. Let's be real here. I wish we could just expand the ground and stay there. sigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Agreed. Even as a United supporter there's something unique about hearing You'll Never Walk Alone that you don't really get at any other ground. Anyway, I'm going to be away for over a week from tommorrow, so I'm probably going to have to send a giant list of picks to you Franchise, if that's okay.

I really didn't want to select a manager, but if I didn't then I would of had nothing left to choose from. When it comes to grounds, I've only been to four and one of those will be gone very shortly. So that leaves me with three that will still be around with my last pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 When it comes to grounds, I don't really think it matters much, unless the fans come with it and they don't support the team that the ground comes from but the team you've made. Then that would be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cr7 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Exactly, that's why I'm going the sentimental route when it comes to picking a ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
